I got some from my dealer four years ago. He had a couple in stock and the rest were in the regional warehouse, so they might still carry them.
If ya dont mind me askin why do you have your heart set on rubber replacements?

I feel the hard aftermarket mounts are too stiff. There needs to be some flex in there or they would not have put rubber there in there first place.( I know people who have put urethane bushings in suspensions, and then broken parts) Besides I want a smooth, quiet ride.The rubber ones lasted 30 years, new rubber ones will last another 30. :gr_patrio

What year and is it a pickup or RC?
I should have the part numbers here at the house for the original ones. Will be available from the dealer or NOS only.

It is a 77 w200, it has a 318, but i currently have it taken apart to upgrade to a 440 and replace the np203 with a a np205, and the full time d44 front axle with a d60 with hubs . thats how it got started and of course one thing leads to another. thanks , mike
